What They Want.

The stockmen who n ct in Pres colt, recently, adopted the follow ing, as being needed by the stock interests of this territory:
 First The repeal of all laws dis eliminating against the stock in terests, and the enactment in their stead of. equitable and beneficial measures.
 Second. The protection of all stockmen in the enjoyment of vest ed rights in range and water loca- tions against trespasse:s-a protec- tion which has been made most necessary by the setting aside ofall territorial quarantine regulations, and the absence of any restrictive laws having for their object the pro lection of the ranges of the Terri tory from the tramp herds of other sections.
 Third. The better protection O. stockmen from the depredations cf cattle thieves, by the increased ia cilitics given by organization for the speedy apprehension and con- viction of such characters.
 Fourth. The adoption of better methods in the handling of cattle during rodCoS, with more equita- ble distribution of the labor and expense attending the same.
 Fifth. The adoption of such means as will secure more unifor- mity in the matter of grading up," by making all stockmen bear equal ly the burden of providing bulls.
 Sixth. The passage of laws that will prevent tie introduction of diseased cattle on the ranges of the Territory.
 Seventh. The securing of better rates of transportation on cattle en route to the market from the rail- roads, and also from commission houses and stock yards for includ- ing the same, concessions usually made to cooperative bodies.
 Eighth. The securing of a mole equitable and just basis of taxation on cattle by having the assessments on such property made more in pro- portion with it's actual value, and also securing the repeal of the spec ial tax, which at present Is imposed on all capital invested in the same -Journal-Miner

\ Foreigner on Immigration.

Considerable experience and ob- servation during a residence of eighteen years in the United States, have convinced me, writes H. H. Boyesen in the Forum, that this problem of immigration has as- sumed a much more serious phase than the public or it's representa- tives in Congress are yet aware. So long as the immigrants greatly i'm proved their condition by crossing the Atlantic, they felt kindly to- ward the country of their adoption, and became, as a rule, good Amer ican citizens. Especially was this the case with Germans and Scan- dinavians, to whom my observation has been chiefly confined. Their children were proud of their Amer ican births, often Anglicised their names, and felt no particular at taohment for the fatherland beyond the sea. But during the last five or six years change has come over the spirit of the immigrant. He now finds the struggle for existence here no less severe than it was in

 The petition then goes on to say that hy some oversight of the Uni ted States surveyor who laid out the town, the land was thrown open to settlement, and one Bernardo Valenzuela, an illiterate, ignorant Mexican and outspoken enemy of our race, who has just taken out his first papers of citizenship, filed his claim to 1t.
 If Your Honor does not inter vene to preventissuing to this man, " says the petition, it will work a great hardship, loss and detriment to the inhabitants of what we be- lieve to be the oldest settlement in the United States, for when dis covered by Coronado in 1539 it con tained 50,00O inhabitants and was the capital of the then Papaguera Country of the Papagos) as 1t has been of this Territory, it having been our first capital where our United States laws were first pro- mulgated and put in force" New York Herald.

Americas Oldest Town.

Tubac, Arizona, lays claim to the honor in an official document.
 It will be news to good many people to learn that perhaps the oldest settlement in the United States is to be found in Arizona, at least that is the assertion made in a petition received by the Commis- sioner of the General Land office.
 The place is called Tubac, and is in Pima county. This is how this interesting bit of history came to be made public. .tH
 The Probate Judge of the county applied at the local land office to have quarter section added to the present township site "for the req son." as stated in the petition, which is drawn by an attorney, that the above portion of land con- tains nearly all of the residence portion and principal buildings of the town, including the church, burying ground and historical and other associations connected with the town, the same being highly prized by the inhabitants, the town

Mosr, the arch anarchist during the course of his trial a few days since in New York, upon being ask ed by the District Attorney to de- fine anarchy, said he would have to make a speech to explain, after which he briefly told what anarchy was. He said he was not only an anarchist, but a communistic an archist. Some of the most com prehensible things he said were that anarchy meant the establishment of free society; education on a secular and equal basis for both xes free contracts between independent communes the social abolition of government, but not without order !; no more political organizations, but economic organizations; scientific organization and organization for the purpose of education.

"PART of our Own Field. The ST. JOHNS HERALD, thinks the Citi- zen should not publish articles criticising public affairs in that unty."-Albuquerque Citizen.
 No, we do not think so. Apache county has, in the main, as good a set of county officers as can be found anywhere, not even except ing the Territory of New Mexico, and who invite, rather than other wise, inspection and criticism. Ii what we referred to is styled ''criti- cism," it was of very low grade, and We are deceived in our judge ment. Wilful misrepresentation is not criticism.
 We thought at first the aim of the Citizen was for the benefit of the county in common, and though we knew it was misled in its views, we presumed it to be sincere. We were we'll aware that the people of the county knew better, and we thought the Citizen did not, and from this fact alone did we give the matter the notice we did. Now, that we see it is the republican party" and not the interest of the county involved or concerned. we better understand how to treat the subject and shall use less space for it's solution. In the meantime, the Citizen may find it is not repre- senting the Republican element of Apache county.

their report they recommend that the Arizona Central Railroad be raised from sl.000 rer mile to $6000. Also that the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad pay at the rate of $1 per acre on their land, instead of 9 cents as now assessed.
 Apache county in her generosity to all, assessed the land of this lat ter Company at twenty cents per acre. We would advise our county to be less considerate to a monde serving railway, and adopt the re- commendation of the grand jury of Yavapai county in assessing these lands at $1 per acre, at which price it would certainly be assessed if owned by private individuals.
 The grand jury further reported having found the bonded debt of Yavapai county to be $46S ,000, and the total indebtedness to be $555e .627 O2.

A Nogales dispatch of the 12th instant, says: A gentleman writing from the scene of the recent earth quakes in Bavispe says the entire town has been destroyed and ninety persons killed. Earthquakes have been of daily occurrence except turing an interval of two weeks, during which period the people built temporary shanties of refuge on the hill. Since their cessation some adobe houses have been erect ed, but they were soon destroyed. The people are wild with terror and are starving.
 The provisions and supplies which were furnished by the state and from private sources are cx- hausted, and the entire vicinity is destitute of provisions and cloth ing, and unless food is furnished soon they must starve. The streams that were opened by the first great shocks are still flowing, but the continued shocks and terror of the people prevent the utilization of their abundance of water for their orcnS

- General Miles on the Indian.

It is true that savage cunning may devise means to deceive and mislead, but that savages possess one element of strength which the fortitude and skill of our civilized race cannot circumvent and over come, is an unjust reflection upon our intelligence and libel upon truth, The result of all Indian wars has been the subjugation of the Indian tribe involved; and I never had but one opinion and one faith, from first to last, regarding the result, which was finally fulfill ed in the absolute surrender of Ge- ronimo and Natchez and their fol- lowers.
 1 also became convinced that there could be no permanent peace and security in this part of our country except in one way, namely the capture and complete disarma- ment of the hostiles, and the re- moval far beyond the limits of your Territory of the entire body of those Indians-not only those on the war path, but also those who were giving the hostiles aid and

two strong arms and two empty pockets has not, during recent times, been able to gain an inde- pendence in half dozen years by frugaiity and toil, He has been obliged to hire himself as farm
 hand, just as he did in the old country and though he has earned better wages. he has also been re- quired to work much harder, and
 his expenditures for all nccessaries of life have been greatly in excess of what he has been accustomed to. The consequence has been that instead of feeling under obligation to his adopted country he has had sense of bitterness and diSap- pointment. The huoyant and san guine spirit which was so notice able among the same class of peo- pie ten or fifteen years ago, is now rarely to be met with, and the en- thusiasm for American institutions
 which impressed me so deeply in the west during the first years of my sojourn there, 1 have never found among immigrants of recent years. A sullen indifference in re- gard to all political questions which have not direct relation to their pockets, seem to characterize them. America is humbug," I have heard them say. The government is for the benefit of the rich man. Everything is for sale. The feeling of disappointment and a more or less pronounced hostility toward the country, which they hold re- sponsible for their misfortune, were we'll nigh universal. Now, 1t is ob- vious that people who are animated by this spirit will not very soon be- come Americans. The tendency among immigrants now is, to form communities by themselves, keep up their own language, traditions and customs, and to regard the na- tives with ill-will and suspicion. They wage a relentless war against the public schools, which they feel to be their most dangerous enemy, and endcavor to establish in their places parochial schools, which are intended to keep the second gene ration as purblind, bigoted and un- American as the first. Their clergy,
 which they call over, fight des-
 perate battle, in the name of Christ and religion and patriotism, against
 the sectarianism, intidelity, money
 worship, ard political iniquity, which they regard as synonymous
 with the American name It is in
 the cities that the dangerous class
 of immigrants are consregating ;
 and if we allow, without any att
 tempt at restriction or regulation, this accumulation of inhalnmable
 material to continue, we shall have no right to be shocked or surprised
 when the inevitable confiagration shall occur.
 They may become a formidable foe in the course of time and 1t
 will cost both blood and treasure to exterminate them, if they can be exterminated. In conclusion, MT. Boyescn says, in his interesting ar ticle of which the above Is only d synopsis, a resort to brute force Is, fhowevef, a dangerous thing in a democratic state. It may imperil the very institutions which it is in- vokcd to protect. It Is, therefore, the part of prudence and humanity to deal with the problem while it is yet capable of peaceful solution.
